ESPN: Who's More Annoying?

Way to keep it positive!!! We sure don't get enough of these types of insightful, uplifting stories...

Stephen A. Smith because his CHEESE DOODLES ARE DELICIOUS!

Where is Mariotti? I can't stand his...well everything about him.

stephen a. smith hands down.

I don't mind Salisbury at all, and I happen to enjoy Around the Horn, minus Mariotti. Jim Rome and Stephen A. probably come in a tie on my list, Stephen A. because he can't seem to control the volume of his voice and Rome because he pauses forever after he thinks he's said something monumental, like he's letting it sink in.

Woody Paige by far. He's like a weird, perverted uncle that hits on your sister.

I would like to cast a write in vote for Manny Stiles, even though he's not on ESPN

Jim Rome might be the biggest hack in the business. Mike Lupica is a solid choice behind that, and Mariotti is just a given for this list.

All I'll say I was at the Super Bowl two years ago, and Salisbury wanted to kick my boys ass because he told Sean he F***-** Sucks...I guess the truth really does hurt you Blue Bomber!

sean salisbury annoys me bc of his "fights" with john clayton. he comes off as such a know it all. and mike lupica is obsessed with the yankees. he will go out of his way to make something relevant to the yankees. i'm ok with the yankees but they're not the beginning and end of every baseball conversation.

Jim Rome. Although seeing him get his ass kicked by Jim Everett was cool. Hey Manny Stiles, do me a favor and keep calling Jim Everett "Chris Everett."

Everyone except the PTI guys, because PTI is the only ESPN programming I watch anymore. This network has gone the way of MTV.

I actually like the Sports Reporters. They might be annoying, but I can stomach them, because at least they know what they're talking about. Stephen A. Smith is annoying AND has no idea what he's talking about. But, I have to say Jim Rome is the most annoying, for the same reason I find Mark Cuban annoying - nobody who hasn't played played pro sports should talk that much smack. It's just stupid.

Long live PTI!!! Now available in Podcast format. awesome.

articles attacking ESPN and TV announcers make no sense

test

I would have to say Chris Berman. Sometimes, when I'm watching NFL Countdown I'm screaming "Shut up" at the TV because Berman goes on and on and on before he finally asks a question. Then on top of that, he asked Frank Caliendo not to do an impression of him because he didn't want to compromise the NFL coverage. WTF?!?! I'm glad he doesn't take himself so seriously.

lol. i didn't post this to just rail on espn. but we all watch it bc it's essentially the only show in town. and why not express our opinions about it??? we're PAYING for it. besides, the only way anyone will ever create a channel that will rival it is to repeat some of what ESPN does and avoid the rest.

yeah, yeah.. It would be nice to talk about what is GOOD in sports. The 'Worst of' lists lack creativity. Anyone can bitch about stuff - give me posts that make me think...As for ripping ESPN in order to create something better... figure out what they do right and do it better... you don't make a better mousetrap by breaking the existing mousetraps.

LEAVE CHRIS BERMAN AND STEPHEN A SMITH ALONE!!! The most annoying analyst by far is Jim Rome. "Jim Rome is Burning", Well it's time to put out the fire on his show. Fox Sports gave him the boot and its only a matter of time before ESPN does the same. Why else would his show begin in the daytime? He is cocky and only bases his opinions on how entertained he is. His show is not entertainment. Now Jim Rome being pummeled by Jim Everett on the other hand.......

STEPHEN A. is pretty terrible. HOWEVAH, Stuart Scott takes the cake.

Chris Berman rocks. Hard for me to hate him. I like Stephen A. too because he speaks with such conviction. I listen to the Jim Rome show when I can so I don't hate him, he's just a bit too negative towards everything.

The most annoying by far is Sean Salisbury. Give me a freakin break. He was a vikings QB and I still hate that piece of crap.

If you really want good sports talk radio tune into fox sports radio on the night shift. JT the Brick and Tom Looney are the best in the game in my opinion. If you haven't heard JT yet then you seriously need to try to tune in.

How about M. Hoge! That guy is the most annoying guy on ESPN.

My vote goes to Berman as the most annoying. I couldn't even watch the rest of the HRD last night because all I kept hearg was "back, back, back" enough already!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's 2006! Find a new friggen catch phrase!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't think Stuart Scott should be on this list. He's one of the few guys who really made SportCenter special who hasn't turned completely annoying. Berman's a jackass, Dan Patrick sounds like a prosecuting attorney in his interviews, Keith Oberman has a huge ego and Kenny Mayne has turned into Bobo the clown. Stu's the only one who's held my respect over all these years.

Im sick of Stew Scott with that fake from the street crap he brings out. He used to be good back in the day and put the show on the map but he tries too hard now. Van Pelt is the new generation

Racheal Nichols. I don't know what it is, but there is something about her that just angers me.

Jim Rome is an idiot and he annoys me because of how much he complains about everything.

You guys are forgetting the worst, most unrespected sports personality in the business; Jason Whitlock. He doesn't deserve to have any job anywhere period.

Out of that list though, I'd go Steven A.

manny stiles hates this post -- but clearly, the people have spoken. it's a popular topic. and i think it's ok to criticize the mighty espn. they have no competition but it doesn't mean they're flawless. and there were some kudos handed out so it wasn't all bad.

I agree, Mike Lupica is a whiny little punk. I still think Stephen A is the most annoying though.

CHRIS BERMAN IS THE MOST ANNOYING PERSON IN SPORTING WORLD!!! Yes, I believe he even edges Dick Vitale. ---The shark
